Renowned for its exceptional wine production, the hill of Montemareto rises in the town of Castelnuovo Calcea, in the province of Asti, not far from the vineyards of La Court, heading towards Mombercelli. This majestic ridge, soaring over 300 meters, features a steep incline and enjoys optimal South-East to South-West exposure, basking in sunlight from dawn to dusk.
The Barbera vines flourish in soils composed of calcareous Sant’Agata Fossili marl interlaced with layers of light-colored Asti sands, and enriched with vital microelements like magnesium and calcium.
